Anything is possible, but I think this is just post mint damage... I believe it has the look of a coin that was left in a clothes dryer although I could be wrong.

wel i looked up images and i found the same coin with basically the same errors that im thinking i will try and find it

 

Please try to describe what you are seeing

 

You forgot to put in your poll 'not an error'
Sorry not an error

Peace

 

the D is messed up severely,and the notch missing out of the rim above the S in states,and the e in quarter

 

Abused coin with a smooshed mint mark? Thirty five years in circulation could do that to a coin.

 

Yes I understand that but I have two of the same exact marks for that to happen is like physically impossible and for somebody on the internet to have the same coin with the same marks just odd i guess

 

From the start of the thread I said I was just learning sorry I haven't dedicated my life to this yet people

 

You don't have to dedicate your life to it, but try and take constructive criticism on something. Honestly any coin could get whacked by anything on any spot, and getting whacked could leave a divot on the edge or smoosh a mintmark. Did you notice that the coin seems somewhat compressed, with the legend pushing into the edge? That is what someone meant by a clothes dryer coin. All of these things represent what is called PMD or post minting damage. Keep looking, there are lots of error coins out there and some are worth good bucks.

 

ok I was just curious where you look at the 2 pictures side to side??? and thsnks eill do

 

There is a photo editing program many on CT use. Called PhotoScape, free download and pretty easy to use.

 

thanks
